14 Jan 10 Was the Worlds Most Famous Detective, Aston Villas First Celebrity Football Fan ?
Aston Villa has undoubtedly the most celebrity fans in Premier league football. In quantity and quality. Their A list celebs include Prince Edward future King of the U.K; and Hollywood superstar Tom. Hanks. But to prove my point I must first define what I mean by an Aston Villa fan. You do not have to have visited the stadium to qualify. You just have to have stated in public. On T.V.,radio,or newspaper. That you support Aston Villa football club. With this in mind we can provide quite an impressive list. Unless you have the Pope or Barack Obama supporting your team you just cannot compete.
Here is my list of famous Vllla fans.Enough to form a first and a reserve team.
1 Prince. Edward. Future King of U.K. and Commonwealth.
2 Tom. Hanks. Oscar winning actor.
3 David. Cameron. Could be a future Prime Minister.
4 Mervin. King. Governor of the Bank of England.
5 Ozzie. Osborne. Local lad and heavy metal rock star.
6 Lee. Child. Best selling author. Always uses ex Villa players names, as characters in his books.
7 David. Bradley, Plays grumpy hogwarts caretaker. Argus. Filch.
8 Simon. Le Bon. Duran Duran rock star.
9 Ian. Lavender. Private. Pike in Dads army.
10 Nigel. Kennedy. Celebrity violinist.
11 Floella. Benjamin. Ex B.B.C. Play school T.V. presenter.
12 Ian. Bell. England and Warwickshire cricketer.
13 Ian. Duncan. Smith. Former Tory leader. 14 Jane. Sixsmith. Former England and Great Britain hockey player.
15 Pauline. Mc Lynne. Plays Father Teds housekeeper Mrs Doyle.
16 Emma. Willis. MTV presenter.
17 Martin. Shaw. Actor starring in Judge. John. Deed. 18 Emma. B. Radio 1 D.J.
19 Richie. Neville. Boy band FIVE.
20 Mark. Williams. Fast show comedy actor.
21 Oliver. Phelps. Plays George. Weasley. in all 6 Harry. Potter. films.
22 Geezer. Butler. Original Black Sabbath member.
Although you will not find them at Villa park for every home game, clutching a pie and a programme. they all have stated publicly that they are Villa fans, so we will just have to take their word for it.
But did Aston Villa have another even more famous fan. the very first fictional detective character. No not Hercule. Poiret, or Tin Tin, but Sherlock Holmes. His creator Sir Arthur. Conan. Doyle. was a fascinating man, who lived a long and eventful life.One of ten children born into poverty, and with an alcoholic father. he did not have the best of starts in life. He trained to be a doctor,was a novelist and lifelong traveller, all round sportsman, popularising ski-ing in Switzerland. And once bowling out W.G. Grace at cricket. he stood for Parliament twice, made a fortune and squandered most of it promoting spiritualism.
So how might he have been a Villa supporter. Here is the evidence.In 1879 Arthur.Conan. Doyle. was a poor medical student. And as part of his training he moved to Aston in Birmingham working as an assistant to Dr Reginald Ratcliffe. Hoare. at Clifton House on the Aston road in Birmingham. He was paid a salary of two pounds a month, and was responsible for making house calls and dispensing medicines. In fact he and Dr Hoare ,got on so well he returned to help out in the surgery many times, after finishing his training. And no doubt supporting his beloved Aston villa at the weekends. (Incidentally Villa first entered the F.A. cup in the 1879/80 season)
In 1879 Aston Villa were still an amateur side, playing at the Wellington road ground in Perry Barr. Birmingham. It is possible that Conan. Doyle, a keen sportsman, could have known Villas early founder members and fellow scotsmen, such as William Mc Gregor, Archie Hunter; and George Ramsay.and perhaps agreed to watch a game, or even play for Villa.
Some of my critics might suggest that it was Conan Doyle who lived in Aston not Sherlock Holmes. But Conan. Doyle; received many letters from members of the public asking him to solve criminal cases. Some addressed to him, but many simply addressed to Sherlock. Holmes at his Baker street address. And as most fiction writers base their characters on aspects of their own personality. I think it is highly probable that Sherlock Holmes was Aston Villas first celebrity football fan.
Below is the evidence you can make your own judgement.
1 Lived within a hansom cab ride from Villas ground at the time.
2 He was a keen sportsman excelling at football, rugby and cricket at school.
3 Aston Villa at that time had a strong Scottish contingent.
4 Sherlock holmes was a Villa fan would make a great chant, ringing around Villa Park.
5.And finally, I am sure at the final game of the season. I am certain I saw a man in a deerstalker hat. sitting in the seat in front of me, puffing away contentedly on his meerschaum pipe,engrossed in the game.Was he or wasnt he, I had to find out, so I tapped him on the shoulder, and nervously blurted out “are you Sherlock Holmes and are you a Villa fan.” But just then the final whistle blew, he jumped up and disappeared into the departing crowd. So I will never know. But I am one hundred percent convinced that Sherlock Holmes was indeed Aston Villas first celebrity football fan.

14 Jan 10 Famous Indian Politicians
Famous Indian Politicians
The Indian Parliament would be a perfect place to demonstrate the true richness in the diversity of India. There is a political representation from almost all the sections of the society inside the parliament. Politics is no longer the occupation of the old, the recently concluded General Elections have demonstrated active participation by young politicians and they have also been been approved by the public at large.
Let us accept the fact that there are a wide variety of reasons why people enter politics. We have seen history-sheeters join politics and also people hungry for power and wealth. These are definitely the downsides of Indian political set-up wherein we see bad elements enter politics for purely selfish reasons. On the other hand, we have also witnessed people choosing politics as their occupation because they want to make a difference to the society, they want to contribute, carry on the legacy of their ancestors who have made a name for themselves serving the country.
There have been many famous politicians who have had earned massive mandate from the people of India and have made a name for themselves in the mainstream Indian politics. India has been blessed with many famous politicians, right from the veteran Indian politicians like Jyoti Basu, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Farookh Abdullah to seasoned campaigners like Sheila Dikshit, Sonia Gandhi, Lalu Yadav and now to the relatively new entrants like Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Akhilesh Yadav. These famous Indian politicians have all played an active role in Indian politics, some have retired the others are still working religiously towards strengthening their respective political parties.
I just hope that Indian politics is enthused with more of the young blood and people choose politics as a reason to serve the nation and not themselves.

11 Jan 10 Famous Film Directors who didn’t go to film school
Here is an article that details five famous film directors who all have one thing in common they didn’t spend a single day in film school. They learned and became a master at their craft from simple trial and error, self-study and unshakable self confidence and belief in themselves.
5. David Fincher
Fincher is an Academy Award-nominated American filmmaker and music video director known for his dark and stylish movies such as Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Fincher eschewed the film school route, getting a job loading cameras and doing other hands-on work for John Korty’s Korty Films. He was later hired by Industrial Light & Magic in 1980, where he worked on productions for Twice Upon a Time,Return of the Jedi and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Set on a directing career, Fincher joined video-production company Propaganda Films and started off directing music videos and commercials. Like Fincher, other directors such as Meiert Avis, David Kellogg, Michael Bay, Antoine Fuqua, Neil LaBute, Spike Jonze, Mark Romanek, Michel Gondry, Paul Rachman, Zack Snyder, Gore Verbinski, and Alex Proyas honed their talents at Propaganda Films before moving on to feature films
Oscar History: 1 Nomination
4. Peter Jackson
Mr. Jackson is a three-time Academy Award-winning New Zealand filmmaker, producer and screenwriter, best known for The Lord of the Rings trilogy adapted from the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. He is also known for his 2005 remake of King Kong.
He won international attention early in his career with his “splatstick” horror comedies, before coming to mainstream prominence with Heavenly Creatures, for which he shared an Academy Award best screenplay nomination with his partner Fran Walsh
Jackson has no formal training in film-making, but learned about editing, special effects and makeup largely through his own trial and error. As a teenager Jackson discovered the work of author J. R. R. Tolkien after watching The Lord of the Rings (1978), an animated film by Ralph Bakshi that was a part-adaptation of Tolkien’s fantasy trilogy. After leaving school Jackson began working as a photoengraver at a newspaper company in Wellington, and shooting a feature-length vampire movie that was later abandoned before completion.
Oscar History: 8 nominations, 3 wins.
3. Sir Ridley Scott
Scott is a British Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe, Emmy Award and BAFTA Award winning film director and producer known for his stylish visuals and an obsession for detail. His films include Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down,Matchstick Men, Kingdom of Heaven, American Gangster and Body of Lies. At age 28, Scott made a black and white short film, ‘Boy and Bicycle, starring his younger brother, Tony Scott, and his father. The film’s main visual elements would become features of Scott’s later work. After directing over 2,500 TV commercials, Ridley finally made his feature directorial debut at age 40 making The Duellists. Can you believe that? 40 years old when he made his first feature film. If that is not inspiration for you, I don’t know what is. You’re never too old to become whoever you want to be.
Oscar History: 3 Nominations
2. James Cameron
Mr. I’m the king of the world is an Academy Award-winning Canadian-American director, producer and screenwriter. He has written and directed films as disparate as Aliens andTitanic. To date, his directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$1.1 billion domestically, unadjusted for inflation. Cameron is noted for his films¡Xwhich are often highly innovative, artistic and financially successful¡Xas well as his fierce temper and confrontational personality
Oscar History: 3 wins.
1. Steven Spielberg
Where should I start?
Steven Spielberg is an American film director, screenwriter and film producer. Forbesmagazine places Spielberg’s net worth at $3.1 billion. In 2006, the magazine Premiere listed him as the most powerful and influential figure in the motion picture industry. Time listed him as one of the 100 Most Important People of the Century. At the end of the twentieth century,Life named him the most influential person of his generation. In a career of over four decades, Spielberg’s films have touched on many themes and genres. Spielberg’s early sci-fi and adventure films, sometimes centering on children, were seen as an archetype of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. In later years his movies began addressing such issues as the Holocaust, slavery, war and terrorism.
Spielberg won the Academy Award for Best Director for 1993’s Schindler’s List and 1998’sSaving Private Ryan. Three of Spielberg’s films, Jaws (1975), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and Jurassic Park (1993), broke box office records, each becoming the highest-grossing film made at the time. To date, unadjusted gross of all Spielberg directed films exceeds $8.5 billion worldwide.
Oscar History: 12 nominations, 3 wins.
Everything good that can be said about Spielberg has probably alright been said so the best compliment I can give this Hollywood icon is that I saw “Jaws¨ when I was five years old. Now I’m thirty-four and still get a little freaked out when swimming in the ocean, all because Spielberg made a timeless and classic shark thriller.
I hope this article leaves you with the belief that the most important characteristic needed to become a successful movie director is determination. Not schooling, not money, not being a child prodigy and not your contacts.
I would like to end this article with a quote from James Cameron.
“I think the most important thing if you’re an aspiring film-maker is to get rid of the ‘aspiring’… You shoot it, you put your name on it, you’re a film-maker. Everything after that, you’re just negotiating your budget.”
To Your Success!

10 Jan 10 World Famous Hollywood Period Films
Period films are those which are set in the background of historical period with some exceptions. There are certain standards that have to be maintained to classify a film as a period film. All the things including the sets, props, costumes, style, and characters will have to symbolize the time and background of the event.
Producing Hollywood period films is always considered as a very expensive task; for this requires huge grand sets and design costumes that reflect the style of the era in which the story takes place.
Many film critics have said that whenever Hollywood scriptwriters lack scripts, they go for a period film. But since most of the period films are big successes, who minds? Filmmakers believe that making a period film is a very tough job, since most of the contemporary actors know very little about the attributes of characters from the past or from the epics. It is very difficult to imagine their mannerisms and states of mind and finally to portray them. It is a tough job for both the actors as well as the directors.
Over the years there have been some very popular Hollywood period films. Braveheart (1995), directed and produced by Mel Gibson, was a huge success critically as well as commercially. It won the 1995 Academy Award for best picture, best director, best cinematographer, best makeup and best sound editing. Braveheart went on to become one of the biggest masterpieces in the whole industry.
Titanic was the biggest hit of the year 1997. It was directed by James Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet starred in the film. It holds the record for the highest gross collection. The film was nominated in 14 categories in Oscar and won the best picture and best director awards. It also won 11 Academy Awards and many other awards. Elizabeth (1998), directed by Shekher Kapur, received huge critical acclaim. It starred Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth I of England. The film won the Academy Award. It got Oscar nomination for 7 categories but it won only one for best make up. Apart from these, the film won many other awards.
The Patriot (2000), starring Mel Gibson and directed by Roland Emmerich, was an instant hit. Though the film was associated with some controversies, it still managed to get critical acclaim as well as popularity.
Gladiator (2000), starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, was the biggest blockbuster of the year. It made a worldwide box office gross of $457, 640, 427. The film won 5 Academy Awards including the Academic Award for Best Picture. Chicago (2002), starring Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger, was an Academy Award winning musical film. It won 6 Academy Awards and 3 Golden Globe awards.
Troy (2004), starring Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom, was an Oscar nominated film. The film was a big worldwide hit commercially and was critically acclaimed. The Passion of the Christ (2004), directed by Mel Gibson, earned worldwide gross of $610,000,000. Right for pre-release the film was surrounded by controversies but the film was a big success.
Kingdom of heaven (2005), directed by Ridley Scott and starring Orlando Bloom and Eva Green, was a success. The film won many international film awards and was very popular among the youth.
